BOWLING GREEN, KY (WAVE) - A vehicle crash ultimately led to the death of a Bowling Green man late Saturday night.

Kentucky State Police and the Warren County Sheriff's Office were called to the 4 mile marker of the William Natcher Parkway just before 11 p.m. for a single-vehicle crash. They arrived to find a Toyota 4Runner overturned in the northbound lanes.

Police said the driver of the SUV, Michael Roll, 52, became extremely combative with them and appeared to be under the influence. A taser was used to restrain Roll, who continued to resist arrest and eventually became unconscious.

Roll was taken to Medical Center in Bowling Green, where he was pronounced dead.
